Doutor Fausto: A vida do compositor alemão Adrian Leverkühn narrada por um amigo
O romance fáustico de Thomas Mann em nova edição revista, com tradução de Herbert Caro e posfácio de Jorge de Almeida. Último grande romance de Thomas Mann, Doutor Fausto foi publicado em 1947. O escritor fez uma releitura moderna da lenda de Fausto, na qual a Alemanha trava um pacto com o demônio — uma brilhante alegoria à ascensão do Terceiro Reich e à renúncia do país a sua própria humanidade. O protagonista é o compositor Adrian Leverkühn, um gênio isolado da cultura alemã, que cria uma música radicalmente nova e balança as estruturas da cena artística da época. Em troca de 24 anos de verve musical sem paralelo, ele entrega sua alma e a capacidade de amar as pessoas. Mann faz uma meditação profunda sobre a identidade alemã e as terríveis responsabilidades de um artista verdadeiro.

Thomas Mann was a German novelist, short story writer, social critic, philanthropist, essayist, and Nobel Prize laureate in 1929, known for his series of highly symbolic and ironic epic novels and novellas, noted for their insight into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. His analysis and critique of the European and German soul used modernized German and Biblical stories, as well as the ideas of Goethe, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer. His older brother was the radical writer Heinrich Mann, and three of his six children, Erika Mann, Klaus Mann and Golo Mann, also became important German writers. When Hitler came to power in 1933, Mann fled to Switzerland. When World War II broke out in 1939, he emigrated to the United States, from where he returned to Switzerland in 1952. Thomas Mann is one of the best-known exponents of the so-called Exilliteratur.
